Heavy-Duty Cut Resistant Sleeve (18"/45cm) – Superior Arm Protection in Grey

Stay protected without sacrificing comfort. Our 18-inch (45cm) Cut Resistant Sleeves are engineered for professionals who face sharp edges, glass, or abrasive materials daily. Whether you are in metal fabrication, glass handling, or intensive gardening, these sleeves provide a critical layer of defence between your skin and potential injury.

Crafted from high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) fibres, these sleeves offer a lightweight, breathable fit that feels cool against the skin while maintaining an impressive Level 5 Cut Resistance rating.

Key Features & Benefits

  • EN388 Level 5 Protection: The gold standard for cut resistance, designed to mitigate risks from blades, scrap metal, and sharp glass.

  • Extended 18" (45cm) Coverage: Offers full-arm protection from the wrist to the upper bicep, ensuring no "gap" between your glove and your shirt sleeve.

  • Breathable & Moisture-Wicking: The HPPE weave allows for airflow, preventing overheating during long shifts or in hot workshops.

  • Secure Fit with Thumb Hole: The integrated thumb slot prevents the sleeve from riding up the arm, ensuring consistent protection during overhead work or high-movement tasks.

  • Neutral Grey Aesthetic: A professional look that hides dirt and grime better than white or high-viz alternatives.

  • Automotive Assembly: Protect arms from jagged engine components and tight spaces.

  • Landscaping & Pruning: Ideal for protection against thorns, brambles, and light chainsaw debris.

  • Kitchen & Food Prep: Extra security for industrial-scale slicing and dicing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these sleeves heat resistant? While HPPE offers some minor thermal protection, these are primarily designed for mechanical/cut protection. For welding or high-heat foundry work, we recommend leather or Kevlar® specific sleeves.

Can I wash these in a machine? Yes. To maintain the integrity of the fibres, we recommend a cold machine wash and hanging them to air dry. Avoid bleach or high-heat tumble drying.

Do they come in pairs? Please check the specific listing options, but our standard package includes one pair (2 sleeves) to ensure both arms are fully protected.

Will this fit a larger arm? The spandex blend provides significant stretch, allowing the sleeve to fit most arm diameters comfortably while maintaining its shape over time.

Expert Tips for Longevity & Safety

  • The "Gap" Test: Always ensure your safety glove cuff overlaps the sleeve at the wrist. Use the thumb hole to lock the sleeve in place.

  • Inspect Regularly: If you notice a significant snag, fraying, or a hole, replace the sleeve immediately. A compromised weave cannot guarantee Level 5 protection.

  • Layering: These are thin enough to be worn under heavy work jackets for double-layer protection in extreme environments.

When it comes to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), compromise isn't an option. Our sleeves are a top-tier choice for those searching for durable arm guards, ANSI cut level protection, and comfortable industrial safety gear.
